If you forget the charger for your BlackBerry, you may not be out of luck if you fly Ted, a division of United Airlines. BlackBerry chargers will be sold in-flight along with other retail items beginning December 1st. It seems that flight attendants will be motivated to move the product by receiving a 2% commission on each sale. This isn't a bad idea considering that passengers are a captive audience. I'm also onboard for anything that allows additional revenue for airlines without increasing ticket prices. You'd be surprised what people will buy while on a flight … just look at the success of SkyMall.

SkyMall(7:16am EST Tue Nov 29 2005)Thanks for the nice comment regarding SkyMall. Actually, we just instituted a “Buy in the Sky” program to capture those passengers who are impulse buyers. We're proving substanial discounts on merchandise as well as matching frequent flier miles. We are also compensating the under-paid Flight Attendants by allowing them commissions as well as compensating the airlines. I'm the National Accounts Manager at SkyMall and proud to play a small part in attempting to hold-back the tide of rising jet fuel costs and reduce the price of air transportation to the consumer. – by Lou Boudreau

In flight Drinks(7:02pm EST Wed Nov 30 2005)Due to Skymall's success, JAck Daniels will be sold by the litre on all domestic US flights. This will shorten delay times, since now the pilot and co-pilot can skip their regular bar trip and go straight to the plane. – by Boudreau's a loser
